Slow Cooker Ham and Cheese Breakfast Casserole

This Slow Cooker Ham and Cheese Breakfast Casserole is the perfect way to use up leftover ham or to have a hot breakfast on the table when you wake up! This easy breakfast casserole recipe is perfect for brunch, too!

I know that everyone loves breakfast recipes, but, you know what I don’t love? Getting up early to make breakfast! I, admittedly, love to sleep in, so having a hot breakfast on the table before people get up is not something I excel at. I definitely prefer the make-ahead route, and if I can make it the night before and let it cook while I sleep, even better!

Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole Recipe

The slow cooker works so well if you are looking for an easy make-ahead breakfast casserole recipe. I love breakfast casseroles for Christmas, Easter, and Mother’s Day Brunch! This slow cooker ham and cheese breakfast casserole is also perfect for making after the holidays when you have leftover ham! Just cube up your cooked ham and throw it in! 

Breakfast Casserole with Biscuits

I love that you can see the big beautiful biscuits in this recipe. It is always best to use some type of bread in a breakfast casserole recipe as it soaks up the moisture and adds a delicious light and fluffy texture. Refrigerated biscuits work really well in this recipe because of the slow cook time.

Tips for Making This Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole Recipe

This is a great dish for using leftover ham but always works great with cooked crumbled bacon or cooked crumbled sausage too!

Use your favorite cheese, pepperjack or swiss would be great in this!

This is actually really good when served with a dollop of salsa. 

If you want to cook on low, increase the cook time to 4 hours.
